You guys must be kidding me! All this other tech. support and no one can take not even ONE minute to look in their reg. and get me the default value's for the above fields. Come on guys! It'll take not even 1 minute to do so! Please help out.

Can't Access Sounds Settings
Even after a hard reset on my Dash I can't access my sounds settings. I can access all other settings except this. I am pretty stumped. I think I am going to try the htc rom unless someone else has an idea. This has me concerned though as the hard reset should have fixed it. It also pretty much locks up the phone when I do it. I can answer calls and such, but I can't open any programs.

Whelp, I tried the update and still no dice. Phone has been great until now. This actually really pisses me off. I can't deal with not being able to change sounds.

Finally figured it out! It was trying to read the memory card which had a movie on it and use the movie as a ringtone option. I still don't know how to turn that off, but at least I know how to be able to change sounds when I need to.

Thanks !!!!!
... for this tip. I already hard-resetted my device twice. I don't know why this happens, but now I know what to do.

problem with calls and text messages
hey guys, i dont know if anybody else has experienced this, but every once in a while, maybe once or twice a day, when i get a call, the phone rings once, and then it tells me i have a missed call. the person who is calling tells me that it rings multiple times and then goes to voicemail. i'm using t-mobile, and using the wm5 that came with it...any help would be great
also, with text messages, its not a problem, but i was wondering if there is anyway i can get the phone to ring and vibrate when i recieve a message. the sound is soo low, that half the time i dont knwo i have a message till hrs later. thanks

did you ever change the profile volume so its louder? I didn't realize you could do it for like a week and kept missing phone calls and messages. it's defaulted at like half of it..

No sound for Reminders (T-Mobile WM6)
Hi,
I just installed the new WM6 ROM on my Dash, and the Reminders will no longer play a sound, only vibrate. From Settings->Sounds, changing the sound for reminders does not play it like it does for other settings (Ring tone, New e-mail, etc.). The Menu->Play option from the screen will not play the sound if Reminders is selected.
Anyone else running the new ROM having the same issue?

I am -- thought it was because I was trying to use my own sounds, WMA files that worked fine on WM5. After reading your post, tried changing the reminder sound to anything built into ROM, and found it to be as you described... Hmmm... Maybe it's 'final release candidate' ROM?

Me too!
Ack, I thought this happened because I had been tweaking the registry since I upgraded. If my memory serves me correctly, the alarms worked just after I upgraded, but then they stopped working after I did registry tweaks for several different things. I'll have to go back and remove the changes one by one to see which one did the dirty deed.
Here are the changes that I remember making:
Disable the slider sounds: /HKCU/ControlPanel/JogBar/Settings/EnablePlaySound
Used SetJogBar to re-enable the Joggr functionality
Made the change to enable Voice Command over my BT headseat:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Bluetooth\AudioGateway\BTA GExtModule
I probably did some others, but am not remembering them right now.
B0gey & Chaz: did you make registry changes before you noticed the reminder function stopped working?
C.

I did, but couldn't tell you if it worked before I made these changes, as I hadn't tried changing sounds yet.
HKLM\Security\Policies\Policies\00001005 = 40
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MAPI] (this doesn't work in WM6)
--"AttachPath"="\\Storage Card\\Inbox\\Attachments"
--"PropertyPath"="\\Storage Card\\Inbox"
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Bluetooth\A2DP\Settings
--UseJointStereo set to 0
The only one that seemed to be sound related was the bluetooth change, so I put it back to 1 to rule it out as being related, no change.
I'd be more inclined to think a registry entry to have an effect on all sounds, not just the reminder one?

I haven't touched the registry (or modified any sound settings) at all. I noticed it this morning when a reminder was set to go off and instead of hearing the sound I expected it vibrated.

******* Fix Is Here *******
I spent about 2 minutes in the Registry and found the offending registry value...
Go into the following Key
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Reminder\
and set the 'InitVol' value from 0 to 2
You will have reminders again, without reboot
I sure hope they aren't launching with this firmware

Thanks... worked, but '2' is a different volume than the rest of the stuff in my Default Profile, looks like you can go up as high as 5? I did, seems to match. Odd there isn't a way to control the Reminder volume level without going into the registry. The Profile volume settings had no effect on it.

Yes, it looks very much like a bug. The profile volume settings should change that, but apparently don't in this version.

mine work fine. I just checked my reg setting and it wasn't 0, it was 3.
I changed a couple settings in my Normal profile and that's it - all from the menu.

Woot...that worked!

That did the trick! Thanks for the fix. I'll have to pass this on to another coworker of mine that ran into this problem too.

Same problem here. I'm running 6.5 WWE

Same problem here. ATT Stock ROM. I do get my messages sometimes when my screen off but most of the time I'll turn on my screen and i'll get 2 or 3 sms messages at once.

Nope not for me.

I havent notcied that problem with mine. Also att stock rom on the tilt 2 only have the newest radio installed 4.4.9 (i think it is). and no issues with sms or mms not coming in when the screen is off, never noticed an issues before updating the radio either though.

Try this: Start > Settings > Sounds & Notifications > Notifications > Event:
Reminders > check "Display message on screen."
new text message > check "Display message on screen."
new MMS message > check "Display message on screen."
Ect ..
Also .. try this cab ..

I spoke too soon. I have recently been encountering this ever since I flashed the htc stock rom 1.86.401.0. it doesnt happen often, but it has caught my attention. before it would come thru with the screen off and when it did come thru the screen wouldnt turn on which was great, but now sometimes it will come thru and sometimes it wont until I turn the screen on, and I have events notification unchecked, I like the idea that the screen doesnt come on to avoid accidential touching of the screen when in the clip. So has anyone found anything to make it stop? Using tilt 2 on ATT.

this sometimes happens to me but a soft reset helped a bit i have no clue as to why this happens but id like to get an answer if anyone can post back

same thing had happened to me. i found out it was the new pocket shield that i was running that kept me from getting the they r suppose to come in.. hard reset will kill it and should b up n running... im on sprint running stock rom!

Werll I dont have the pocket shield. And mine started doing it after flashing the stock rom on HTC site for EU. So I know its not any programs I put in or any custom roms. I think what happens is the radio possibly falls asleep at times and doesnt wake up.

this happens to me as well, but not all the time. Im on official WWE 6.5 Asia ROM.
Strangely, this happen whenever i use custom ringtones (not from windows). Whenever i switch to any ring from windows, the message comes all the time. Can anybody confirm this?

I have the same problem. I have an official Eastern Europe ROM 1.86.401.1. (clean install, no third parties soft installed).
The problem appears even with windows ringtones. I hope there will be a hotfix soon! All my friends think I am ignoring them

Same here. but I also found another bug, I know I should make another post, but I think XDA will kill me
But if you happen to notice that along with this, you will notice that at times, the txt will come thru but you get no alert. And I am using the same rom your using. Its been happening since this rom, and also happens with nrgz rom so its specific to the rom not the tinkering. But I was txting someone today and after about the 3 or 4th interchange I noticed the person hadnt txt back in like 10 mins, when I turned the screen on there was a txt msg that didnt notify me, didnt turn on or alert me, so there seems to be two bugs with it.
Unless anyone has looked into this, I am going to look further and see if this is only when using HTC's enhanced msg program, if it happens thru WinMO going thru all messages. I'll let you know unless someone has looked into this already.

so far im using the ringtones that is provided by default from the windows and everything is good. Will report back though if i do find the problem again.
Oh and btw i had the stock 6.1 WWE Asia ROM before i upgrade to the official 6.5, the 6.1 behave the same way too. Perhaps it is the manila messaging that cause the problem
edit: I contacted HTC via email and they said that they "have no special setting" for this isssue. They suggest me to perform a hardreset. I replied back, "i have and the problem still exist". I'll see what they send me tomorrow and i'll share it with you guys.
I do suggest that we all report this bug to HTC via their email customer service thing so that they recognise the problem and release the hotfix.

I think they are going to have a difficulty with this one because its not repetative and is intermittent. I can say I never noticed this with the HTC Fuze and dont think I ever had this problem.
And being that it doesnt happen often enough I dont think people are going to catch it and they are going to think that they just didnt hear it, unlike us nuts

Hi guys i have posted this on another thread but it has similar symptoms, below is what i have posted in the thread.
I am having a problem with the notification system.
Lets say a person Name "A" sent me a sms, the phone will ring and the light blinks if i did not attend to it.
However the problem starts whenever I replied "A" but left the phone in the TF3D threaded msg screen with "A". After sometime the phone goes to standby. But when "A" replies my msg again, they phone only vibrates and does not ring. The Yellow Led does not blink as well.
I am currently using a stock ROM and i am not sure if you guys experience this as well.
This is Rather annoying as most of the time after replying a person's sms, i would just hit the standby button straight away without bother exiting the threaded sms screen. But if i do that, the next sms that comes in from the same person will not ring or trigger the LED.
I am not sure if this problem has been posted and fix, but after many days of searching i cant seem to find a solution for it.
some basically it means the notification did not come through only in the manila threaded msg screen with the specific person, because i guess they somehow got tricked to thinking that we are actually reading the msg when in reality the screen is off and we are not reading it. Please Check if this describe your problem.
I still need a solution for this

pukipuki,
Seems based on what your saying this might be the htc manila msg program, can you confirm if the same happens if you go to all msgs and bring up the person your talking to thru there and see if it happens that way too? My suspicision is that it wont do it, but I want to be sure, cause thats been my guess all along.
Or can anyone else confirm that it is only happening in the htc threaded msg and not the winmo threaded msgs.

My suggestion would be to try turning System Event Sounds on in the Sounds section in the Settings tab in TouchFLO/Sense. (Alternatively you can acheive the same effect by ticking the Events checkbox in the Sounds tab in "Sounds & Notifications" in Settings for WinMo.)
I came across the 'no sound alert' problem for new texts and found that the audio alert tone came back when I made the above change. (Funnily enough when I was having this problem, I had enabled vibrate for new texts and the phone vibrated even though there was no audio.)

Even with that setting on, the problem still exists.

New EU rom & SEA rom issues Ive run across Help!

Hi All, I was wondering if anyone has run into these issues, I mentioned them in a thread but decided to make a new post. this happens in both roms
1) Is anyone having issues that some contacts in the messaging client (HTC) lose their pix and you see a sim card instead of their photo? If so anyone know how to stop this?
2) Sometimes when hitting send after writing a txt msg, the screen right away goes black where you have to hit the power button to bring the screen back on.
3) Anyone notice that with this rom, the home weather screen is slower then the stock eu 6.5 with 2.1 manila? Seems it has something to do with the clock, because if you slide the clock up and show only the clock in the bar the weather animation plays just as the demo does (Especially the rain and wiper blade). Can someone check to see if the home page possibly has a memory leak or bad coding? And is there a way to change the flip clock easily to not flip or to a different clock on these roms?
4) Anyone notice during a call there is no way to get to the call history from the dial pad or anywhere? if you know please enlighten me.
5)Anyone figure out how to make the htc sms program bump up the writing section instead of it taking its time?
6) I tried using the SDKCert cab, and it seems to me that it messed up my Sea rom install. Anyone know of another way to re-map the keyboard for an ATT Tilt 2?
Any help or guidenance would be greatly appreciated. And any help I can give I will, I have a spare HTC tilt 2 phone and can test anything out. right now trying to figure out why MSVC doesnt read back txt msgs with another senior member. Hopefully we can get this to work I need that!

No one else has these problems?
Okay here is another one, anyone figure out how when you get a txt msg and hit the msg tab it goes to the first msg and not be stuck on the last msg you read on the msg tab?

I am having issues with mine also.....
i am actually having a bit of a hard time with the new HTC 2.5 ROM.
I have read through the threads and it seems other people are having the same problems.
i.e.- sms very slow-
speakerphone bug- once activated the other person cannot hear you, you have to turn off speakerph and turn on again for them to hear you.
I hard reset but still get the same problems.
I think after I try a few more tweaks I will be able to post a good assessment so others will "hopefully" not have to deal with the same problems.
I hard reset to clear everything and then flashed the ROM again. Took care of some problems.
I installed your Volume Settings cab from another post to take care of the low vol prob.
After flashing the ROM the speakerphone is working. ..
1) I have not had a problem with the contacts
2) I am still having this problem with the text msg
3)To fix the Home screen issues- I installed Cookies Home Tab and his editor
4) Haven't noticed the during call problem but will check it out
5) I installed SMS chat cab to help with the text problems and also disabled the HTC msgng. it is still slow but not as slow
6)I used the Tilt 2 Keyboard fix....

[Q] Random SMS glitch

The best I can describe it is when opening a text from the notification bar it brings me to the top of the SMS thread, which can be quite long sometimes and the only way around it is to back out and re-enter the thread to get to the most recent message.
I love how smooth this phone runs, I can deal when resource heavy applications freeze for a bit or have bugs. However when simple phone based applications do things like this I kind of twinge.
Any help on either what does this or how to fix it?

Is this stock? Never had that issue? Maybe try deleting some or all your txts? I know the stock app gets flaky when you have a ton of messages on your phone
sent from a phone

i get that same thing when i have 200+ messages in a thread. its somewhat annoying.

It's happened with stock and in skyraider now

Easy trick that works for new when that happens: hold menu so the keyboard pops up, bringing you to the text field at the bottom.
Sent from my Droid Incredible running Myn's Warm TwoPointTwo RLS5.3.

I have not run into this problem since I have been using Handcent for SMS.

have this same issue, and this is with stock 2.2 from big V.
one thing i've found to get around it though is backing out of the thread and then re-entering will put you at the end normally and also if your typing and bounce between the 159 and 161 character count, not tapping back and just changing orientation a few times will set it straight again and you can continue editing the message.
Will say, i've got threads that are 2k messages long and even then its a hit or miss thing to the point where i cant get it to happen right when i'm in front of a big V tech. :/

i get that occasionaly and i get a glitch where even if i click on the sms notification it still shows it in the bar.

Sticky Notifications

Recently, notifications that "pop" up on the screen after performing a task or doing something, are very 'sticky' - they seem to stay on the screen much longer than they should - often more than a minute or two - even after finishing whatever task or thing that is related to the "pop up message".
This has never happened to me before and I can't figure out if there is a setting that needs to be changed to make those "messages" go away more quickly. see example on image I attached - this message saying that the new person I added to People Edge had already been added- woud not go away for over two minutes - no matter what I did - and this happens everytime I get a pop up notification of some kind....doesnt matter what the notification is about - or what ap it is associated with - it simply sticks to the screen and won't go away for much longer than it should and then it goes away on it's own.
View attachment 4979893
I hope someone can point me in the right direction ? This has never happened to me before.....

I don't want to be that guy who is the only one who answers his own questions while waiting for someone who has had similar experiences comes along and offers some suggestions?
Am I really the only one this is happening to ? Do anything onthe phone that causes a small pop up notification of some kind and it won't go away for much longer than it should - sometimes several minutes -
Anyone have this happen ? Anything that can be done to make it stop?
